printing from Firefox
I am very challenged by the new print dialog box on Firefox. My biggest problem is that I can no longer find a way to simplify the page, an option I used frequently to save paper and ink. Also, printing in draft requires multiple steps and looks like it might not be an option in the future.
Has anyone figured out a way to get around these issues, especially to simplify the page?
The old print dialog worked really well for me; this new one, not so much!

Sorry, we are expecting Simplify Page to show up in the new combined preview/setup/print overlay, but it's not here yet.
Here's how you can temporarily switch back to the old arrangement of separate preview/setup/print:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste tab_mo and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the print.tab_modal.enabled preference to switch between the new experience (true) and the classic experience (false)
(4) If there is another preference named app.normandy.startupRolloutPrefs.print.tab_modal.enabled you can double-click that one to switch it to false as well. If you do not have that one, no need to create it.
Since you are setting to false, it will look roughly like this:
